Product details
Overview
MAX329EWE+T from Maxim Integrated is a differential 2-of-8 monolithic CMOS analog multiplexer designed for high-precision signal routing in data-acquisition and fault-tolerant systems. It features ultra-low off-leakage (±10pA max at +85°C), 2.5kΩ typical on-resistance, ±5V to ±18V dual-supply operation, and 1.5µs switching time - enabling accurate multiplexing of low-level sensor or transducer signals into high-input-impedance ADCs or op-amps.
For engineers reviewing the MAX329EWE+T datasheet, MAX329EWE+T pinout, MAX329EWE+T application, or MAX329EWE+T equivalent, key selection criteria include its differential channel architecture, guaranteed sub-10pA leakage over temperature, fault-tolerant capability with external 39kΩ resistors, and pin compatibility with DG509 and MAX359 in industrial and aerospace signal-routing designs.
Technical Context
The MAX329EWE+T implements a fully differential 2-channel select architecture: each enabled pair (S1A/S1B through S4A/S4B) routes two complementary analog signals simultaneously. Its CMOS switch design ensures rail-to-rail analog signal range (±15V with ±15V supplies) and latchup-proof operation under unbalanced supply conditions like +12V/–5V.
Internal charge injection is limited to 4pC (typ), and break-before-make timing is tightly controlled at 0.2µs to prevent signal shorting during channel transitions. Off-isolation exceeds 84dB at 500kHz, supporting high-fidelity signal integrity in multi-channel measurement systems.
Key Specifications
| Parameter | Value and Actual Design Meaning |
|---|---|
| Analog Signal Range | ±15V with ±15V supplies - supports full-rail input/output without clipping in precision instrumentation |
| Drain-Source On-Resistance | 2.5kΩ typ - minimizes gain error and voltage drop in high-impedance sensor interfaces |
| Off-Leakage Current | ±10pA max at +85°C - enables <0.4µV error with 39kΩ fault-protection resistors |
| Switching Time | 1.5µs max - allows >300kSPS channel scanning in 8-channel DAQ systems |
| Supply Voltage Range | ±5V to ±18V - operates reliably across industrial and avionics power rails |
| Off-Isolation | 84dB at 500kHz - suppresses crosstalk between active and inactive differential pairs |
| Charge Injection | 4pC typ - reduces settling error and pedestal distortion in sampled-data systems |
Pinout & Package
MAX329EWE+T is housed in a 16-pin Wide SO (SOIC-W) RoHS-compliant package with exposed pad (EP), rated for –40°C to +85°C operation. Pin 1 is V–; pins 2–5 are S1A–S4A inputs; pins 6–7 are DA/DB outputs; pins 8–11 are S4B–S1B inputs; pin 12 is V+; pin 13 is GND; pins 14–15 are A0/A1 address lines; pin 16 is EN.
| Pin/Terminal | Circuit Role | Design Meaning |
|---|---|---|

| DA, DB (Pins 6–7) | Differential outputs | Simultaneously deliver selected complementary signals to downstream circuitry |
| S4B–S1B (Pins 8–11) | Differential input channel B | Second leg of four selectable differential analog inputs - paired with S1A–S4A |
| V+ (Pin 12) | Positive supply rail | Power source for switch logic and analog path; EP must connect to V+ |
| GND (Pin 13) | Logic ground reference | Reference for TTL/CMOS-compatible address and enable inputs |
| A0, A1 (Pins 14–15) | Binary address inputs | Select one of four differential pairs (00→S1, 01→S2, 10→S3, 11→S4) |
| EN (Pin 16) | Enable control | Active-high logic input; disables all switches when low, preventing signal coupling |
Key Features

Equivalent & Alternatives
The following parts are listed as comparable options for similar differential analog multiplexer applications.
| Alternative Part | Technical Difference | Application Difference | Selection Advice |
|---|---|---|---|
| MAX359EWE+ | Same pinout and function but higher on-resistance (3.5kΩ max) and higher leakage (±20pA max at +85°C) | Less suitable for 17-bit DAQ; acceptable for lower-resolution industrial controls | Choose MAX359EWE+ only if cost sensitivity outweighs leakage and on-resistance requirements |
| DG509DJ | Legacy bipolar process; 50nA max off-leakage at +25°C, no guaranteed spec over temperature | Not qualified for extended temperature or fault-tolerant use; requires external protection diodes | Select DG509DJ only for legacy repair or non-critical commercial applications with ambient temperature operation |
Compared with MAX329EWE+T, MAX359EWE+ trades leakage and on-resistance performance for marginally lower cost, while DG509DJ lacks temperature-stable leakage specs and fault tolerance - making MAX329EWE+T the sole choice for precision, wide-temperature, or safety-critical signal routing.

FAQ
What is the maximum operating temperature range for the MAX329EWE+T?
The MAX329EWE+T is specified for continuous operation from –40°C to +85°C. All critical parameters - including off-leakage current, on-resistance, and switching time - are production-tested across this full range. The "E" grade designation explicitly confirms this extended industrial temperature qualification, making MAX329EWE+T suitable for avionics, motor drives, and outdoor instrumentation environments.
Does the MAX329EWE+T require external protection diodes for 120V AC fault tolerance?
No, the MAX329EWE+T does not require external protection diodes for 120V AC fault tolerance. Its internal ESD protection diodes clamp input voltages to within ±15.7V when using ±15V supplies, as confirmed in the Applications Information section (Figure 4). When combined with external 39kΩ resistors, the MAX329EWE+T withstands indefinite 120V AC faults without damage - eliminating discrete diode components and reducing BOM count.
Is the MAX329EWE+T pin-compatible with the DG509 multiplexer?
Yes, the MAX329EWE+T is pin-for-pin compatible with the DG509 in standard 16-pin DIP and SO packages. The pin functions - including A0/A1 address inputs, EN enable, V+/V– supplies, GND, and differential SxA/SxB/DA/DB terminals - match identically. This allows direct replacement in existing DG509-based designs without layout changes, while delivering superior leakage, on-resistance, and fault tolerance.
What supply configurations does the MAX329EWE+T support beyond ±15V?
The MAX329EWE+T supports asymmetric dual supplies such as +12V/–5V or +5V/–15V, as well as single supplies from +10V to +30V. Its CMOS switch architecture maintains rail-to-rail analog signal range across all valid configurations. The Absolute Maximum Ratings table confirms safe operation up to +44V on V+ and +25V on GND relative to V–, enabling flexible integration into diverse power architectures.
How does the MAX329EWE+T achieve 17-bit resolution in data-acquisition systems?
The MAX329EWE+T achieves 17-bit resolution by limiting total signal error to ≤39µV across –40°C to +85°C. With guaranteed ±10pA max off-leakage and 39kΩ external resistors, worst-case error is 10pA × 39kΩ = 0.39µV at +25°C and 39µV at +125°C. For a 10V full-scale range, 39µV equals 1 LSB of a 17-bit system (10V ÷ 2¹⁷ ≈ 76µV), confirming usable 17-bit performance across the entire operating temperature range.
